Disclaimer: Nope. I don't own the titans,
A note from the author: I am currently juggling three other RaeXRedX stories right now. Go me for being amazing. So yeah. Here begins story number four. This is a one shot but if you like and think I should continue please tell me.
Leave your window open tonight
Red X walked quietly along the interior of the silent warehouse. Waiting. Oh so patiently waiting. He glanced at his watch. I've been here for an hour man…. He thought to himself. He was dressed in what would have seemed like normal clothes (Minus the mask) to anyone else in the world. A simple Nike sweatshirt and some old sweatpants, hiding an old pair of black converse. He seemed so normal because it was how he had wished to be seen. He wished to convince this Mr. Darcy that he was just a normal person, who had no weapons to hide. Alas under his baggy ensemble he wore the famous, the infamous, Red x suit. He had the gloves tucked into the side of his belt, ready. He was prepared to grab them and be ready to fight if they were necessary.
The wind rustled slowly across the ocean outside, making the oncoming presence of his buyer more real. As the beautiful Black Lamborghini pulled up alongside of the ware house red x walked over to his prize and picked it up off of the ground.
"Bout time ya'll got here." Red x said faking a somewhat of a southern accent through his mask. (At the time his voice scrambler was off.) "I was thinkin' that perhaps I should just ditch about an hour ago. " Red x said as the man approached him with his two body guards. He was plump, and short. He was smoking a cigar and smelt of booze. His body guards were much taller, bringing the presence of abuse with them. They were both tan in comparison to their employers pale chalky skin. They wore sunglasses without reason in the night air. They were something right out of an old Mob movie.
"Lemme see my prize." The man's cold unforgiving voice called out. Red x pulled the painting from behind his back. It was covered with a tattered old rag. He gently pulled the rag off revealing the beautiful landscape of artwork that had been painted upon the soft canvas.
"A lot of trouble to get this. It in its own is worth a good seventy-thousand my friend, but then also ties in my theft fee, another five hundred, and because y'all made me wait, an extra two fifty." Red x said shifting his stance and leaning on the delicate frame of the painting.
One of the man's body guards pulled a briefcase of sorts from behind his back. He opened it revealing the 'wads of cash' that X had requested.
"There are Eighty-thousand here, shall that meet your requirements?" The man asked with raised eyebrows. X stood straight and took a few paces forward keeping the painting hovering just above the ground. He looked at the money and back at the painting.
"Sure shall my friend." He said. The guard closed the case and Red x took a few paces back. The body guard followed and gently placed he money on the ground but not releasing it until Red x had followed suit. "On three. One. Two. Three." Red x said. Both men released their fortunes and took a step over them to receive each other's packages.
"Now, X I must apologize." The short plump man said.
"If you intend to kill me now…" X started as he pulled up the corner of his sweatshirt ready to grab his gloves.
"No it's not that." He said quietly as he walked out with his two brute-like men following him.
"Put your hands in the air where I can see them." The voice of a young teen called from behind him.
"Robin… I shoulda known this was a scheme of yours." Red x said gently grabbing his gloves. "Comon bird brain, how dull do you think I am?" Red x said with mock enthusiasm. "I didn't give that guy the real Picasso. The actual one is in my apartment." He lied hoping the Bird would buy it.
"Well that's okay, because you never had the real Picasso in the first place." Robin said to the thief's back.
"Humph, Coulda fooled me, traffic light. Tell you what, I'll spare your little team some embarrassment and just leave now."
"Not without these on." Robin said holding up a pair of cuffs. (The thief could not see them but hear them as he let them swing in the air,)
"I'm afraid, kid, that I don't play on the playground much anymore. But I think I can handle the monkey bars."
"What are you talking about?"
"Let me demonstrate." Red x said leaping into the air and grabbing one of the low riding beams from the ceiling. He pulled himself up dodging the bird-a-rangs that robin had thrown and the energy that Starfire had released. He slipped on his gloves as he moved from beam to beam. He pulled off his sweatshirt and tossed it lazily to the ground below making quick work of his pant and sneakers and sending them to meet his sweatshirt. He jumped nimbly onto the next beam before making the first shot firing a sticky X at robin which was easily dodged.
"Come on bird brain, what ya got for me?" X said cockily dodging a blast from Cyborg's Cannon.
"Wow x, you've gotten sloppy." Raven said from behind him on the beam.
"Think again." He said as he hit a button on his suit, suddenly there were about seven of red x all bouncing off the beams in different directions. "I made some upgrades to the suit." They all said at once. He laughed as the titans all froze studying each copy. "Come on, kids! X marks the spot remember?" He said as the beings moved around. Robin threw a freezing disk at one of them. It ceased to exist as the item passed through it.
"They're Holograms!" Robin informed his team. "Starfire, keep an eye on the exits so he doesn't try to escape." Robin said quietly to Starfire. She nodded and looked at all the exits. "Titans Attack!" Robin yelled to his team. Robin jumped up into the beams and swirled around trying to kick one of the many red x's. It easily dodged his foot and jumped over him. It was the real red x because the next thing robin knew his feet were kicked from under him and he plummeted to the ground below.
"Oh, watch your step." Red x said with a chuckle as robin shot a grappling hook out of his belt, saving him from certain unconsciousness. Red X back flipped off of the beam and onto the next one. He shot a sticky X at beast boy entangling his hair in Red goop.
"Duuuuude!" beast boy yelled trying to pull it off of his head. Red x dropped from the ceiling and kicked him against the wall. He punched him once in the face causing him to fall unconscious.
Starfire was hovering high in the air keeping an alert mind to all the exits of the building. A hologram jumped in front of her causing her to reel back just knocking her off of her guard enough for the real red x to jump in and kick her hard in the back. She screamed in pain and started to fall.
"STARFIRE!" robin yelled racing across the ground to catch her. She fell literally into his arms, alas she had already passed out.
"Two down two to go…" Red x whispered to himself. He jumped in the air and he did a summersault while landing on Cyborg's back who was trying to figure out which was the real him with his bionic eye. Unfortunately he didn't realize that the real red x was on his back until he had used a device that shut down cybor'gs systems. With a quick kick Red x knocked cybor'gs Slumbering body to the ground. The six other holograms danced around in a mad dash occupying Robin and Raven. Red x thus seized his chance to attack the fearless leader.
He sprung over and jumped into the high beams above Robin's head. He pulled out a type of X meant to shock its victim into a comatose state. Robin was his test victim. He threw the X and it hit Robin spot on sending his body into a whirling shock. He looked as if he were having a seizure and when the X had done its damage his body laid to rest upon the ground.
"Robin." Raven chanted in a way. Her voice was not a scream, or a holler, but more of a low growl. She left the hologram she was dealing with and flew to the side of her leader pulling his unconscious body onto his back. The holograms all returned to Red x's suit and he made an advance towards Raven. "Not another step." She said in a low warning voice.
"And if I choose to take another." Red x said keeping his steady pace for her along the ground of the warehouse.
"I will show you the meaning of pain." She said in a low monotone.
"Sounds dirty. I am all one for games." He said as he whipped a sticky X at her. She stood and successfully dodged it. Then He sent another flying her way. She hit the wall with a quiet 'oof.' And he continued to walk towards her. "Ya know I am kinda glad you guys picked tonight to have some fun with me."
"And why would that be?" Raven said with a fake sense of interest as she struggled to get her hands free from under the bonds.
"Because I was just thinking to myself today how beautiful you are." He said as he got within an arm's reach of her. He gently pulled off her hood and examined her face.
"Azerath Metrion-" He placed his hand cupped over her mouth.
"And your feisty." He said. His free hand reached for the bottom of his mask and he gently slid it up to the bridge of his nose. Her eyes widened when she realized what he was intent on doing to her. His hand released her lips and his lips quickly claimed them again. He was not forceful with his kiss. He waited with his lips gently pressed against hers for her reaction. Patiently he waited until he felt her lips quiver a bit with a sense of longing.
What is he doing? Is he waiting for me to kiss him? Not gonna happen. Ravens Anger told her. Then Lust spoke up. One kiss couldn't be so wrong. Happiness danced in circles while chanting in a sing song voice, I think he likes you! Her demon side sat quietly in the depths of her mind. You know of your longings of late... He wishes to satisfy them…. Let him.
Ravens lips pressed against his. He kissed her back gently spreading her lips with his tongue asking her permission for entrance into her mouth. She complied opening her mouth allowing the thief to steal his kiss. He placed one of his hands gently on her waist and the other on the wall supporting him.
He pulled his body closer and brought her deeper into the kiss, making it more passionate and more demanding. His hand that had been resting on her hip gently slid behind her putting his hand between her butt and the wall. She responded kissing his lips harder and wrapping her legs around his waist pulling him closer to herself. As his hips touched her thigh she felt his hardness dig into her. She gasped quietly allowing each of them to have a moment of air. He gently reigned kisses on her neck and then looked her in the eyes. There was a pleading that he could not read. Go on? Or please stop?
"Sunshine. Leave your window open tonight."

ANAHEIM, Calif. – The Dallas Stars showed off all the talent they have been developing in the minors during three games against the Anaheim Ducks.
Alex Chiasson scored his first NHL goal, Lane MacDermid netted his second in two games since being promoted, and Eric Nystrom had a short-handed goal in the Stars' 3-1 victory on Friday night.
"It's incredible. I don't think I realize it yet," Chiasson said. "You work so hard when you're young, and you don't realize that one day this could happen. I was a Montreal Canadiens fan growing up and watching Saku Koivu—and now I'm playing against him.
"These last couple of days have been really memorable for me."
About a half-minute after the Ducks killed an interference penalty against Matt Beleskey, Chiasson converted a centring pass from Vernon Fiddler to complete the scoring.
Chiasson had 13 goals this season for the Stars' AHL affiliate.
"The reason you play in the American Hockey League is to make it up to the NHL," Chiasson said. "Luckily I've made it up here, and now I've got to work to stay here."
Kari Lehtonen made 27 saves to help end Dallas' three-game skid. The Stars, whose four-year playoff drought is the longest in franchise history, are five points behind eighth-place St. Louis in the Western Conference. But Dallas would have to overtake four other teams that are separated by one point.
Andrew Cogliano scored for Anaheim, and Viktor Fasth stopped 22 shots in his third straight start, thwarting all six Minnesota power plays.
The Pacific Division-leading Ducks beat the Stars 4-0 on Monday at Dallas and 5-2 on Wednesday at home. But they had to play this one without captain and leading scorer Ryan Getzlaf, who sustained a lower body injury during the third period on Wednesday.
Matthew Lombardi played his first game with Anaheim following Wednesday's trade with Phoenix.
"We missed some Grade A chances," Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said. "I mean, Saku missed two or three in the first period, Teemu (Selanne) missed an open net on the power play, and Matthew Lombardi had a breakaway and didn't score. So there were a lot of plays we missed that were uncharacteristic misses.
"When you don't take advantage of your chances, it usually ends up biting you in the butt."
Nystrom and Chiasson scored less than 5 1-2 minutes apart to give Dallas a 3-1 lead with 48 seconds left in the first period.
Fiddler lifted the puck out of the Dallas zone, while the Stars were short-handed, and Fasth came far out of his net in an attempt to poke it away from the oncoming Nystrom. But the six-year veteran got position on Corey Perry and flipped it over the goalie's outstretched stick and into a wide-open net at 13:54 of the first.
"I think he guessed wrong. It was just bad timing," Boudreau said. "But he made an awful lot of saves to keep us in the game. That's the first time he's done that this year, so we'll give him a mulligan on that one."
The 30-year-old goalie took the blame for his gaffe.
"I misread the speed of the puck or maybe I overestimated my skating ability," Fasth said. "But we all know it was a bad decision by me.
"Those things happen, and unfortunately it happened tonight in a tight game and ended up being the game-winning goal."
MacDermid opened the scoring at 9:03 with a short backhander after Antoine Roussel found him cruising down the slot. The lead lasted just 18 seconds as Cogliano converted a centring pass from behind the net by David Steckel after the puck took a strange bounce off the end boards on a dump-in by Bryan Allen.
"We didn't help ourselves, but that was (Dallas') best effort," Boudreau said. "We knew if they scored the first goal and had a lead coming out of the first period, they were going to be very tough. It seemed like after we tied it up, for about 10 minutes we fell apart and started watching them pass the puck.
"Once they got the 3-1 lead, they played pretty solid the second and third periods."
MacDermid sustained an upper body injury on his first shift of the second period and didn't return.
The Stars and Ducks played their final game as division rivals, due to the realignment of the NHL in 2013-14.
NOTES: MacDermid's first NHL goal on Wednesday came on the 31st anniversary of his father Paul's first NHL goal. They are the second father-son duo to score their first goals on the same date. The other was John "Peanuts" O'Flaherty and son Gerry, who accomplished the feat on Nov. 3 in 1940 and 1972. … With Jonas Hiller sitting out the game because of illness, the Ducks shifted their backup goalie. Jeff Deslauriers was at the end of the bench for the first 3:57, and Igor Bobkov replaced him. … The Ducks are Lombardi's fifth team in five seasons. He had about 12 1-2 minutes of ice time, had only one shot, and was a minus-1. … The Ducks, who came in with the league's third-best power play, were 0 for 4. … The Ducks outshot the Stars 28-25. Dallas hasn't outshot an opponent in nine games.

In a hectic society we always seem to have a goal for every action. We seek education in order to land a job. We work in order to earn money to survive and to provide finances for enjoyment. We workout and eat properly in order to lose weight or to train for a goal. We've become a society in which we rely on external motivators in order to accomplish tasks. This motivational mentality gets us into trouble more often than not. We become dissatisfied when we don't reach the goals that we expect, or when the reward doesn't match the process that we suffered through. Think about it this way: if we removed the goal would you still continue the journey?
There's a principle called the Sawyer Effect and it's best explained with an example:
A group of artistic children were brought into a room and told to draw but they were split into three groups:
1) Kids were told that they were going to receive a reward after completing their drawing.
2) Kids were given a reward after completing their drawings without being told in advance.
3) Kids were just told to draw for fun.
A few weeks later, the same group of kids were brought back into the same room and told to draw again but no reward was given. The first group (the one's who were told that they would receive a reward) lost interest in drawing whereas the other two drew without a question. They enjoyed doing it with little external motivation because they found value in the act itself.
Here's another analogy: think of a donkey being led to move forward by a carrot. The only motivation for the donkey to walk is to try and eat the carrot but when the carrot is removed the donkey stops moving. You're not a donkey, you're a human. Stop chasing carrots.
Let's talk fitness! If our primary motivator is losing the last 10 pounds or completing a challenge then what happens after we've accomplished the goal? More often than not we become bored of fitness and lose motivation. We seek more weight loss challenges or more goals to make things interesting. People who exercise and eat properly because they enjoy it see better results because they focus on how it integrates and improves their quality of life. It doesn't matter what type of workouts they do or whether or not they want to lose weight it's simply about doing it. Imagine working out and then finding that you are pushing your body to new limits, or finding that you really enjoy a type of exercise. Would you go for a walk simply because it's enjoyable and not because it burns calories?
Enjoy what fitness intrinsically brings to your life: whether it is being in a positive community or taking time away from the day to simply focus on yourself. There are far greater benefits to exercise than simply looking good and weight loss! The amazing thing is that when we stop focusing on the extrinsic motivators like weight and other numbers those things actually happen by themselves and more quickly than if we focused only on those goals.
Think about life: let's start creating some positive lists in our lives. Whenever you do an activity or work take some time in the middle of the action and think about how that particular act makes you feel. Maybe it's simply that the activity takes you away from the stresses in life. Just think about it and find the intrinsic reward.
This is not to say that we shouldn't have goals in life and in fitness. Enjoy the journey and then pick a path. Enjoy living!

|The Kensington Review
21 November 2007
|Latest Commentary:
|Volume VI, Number 139
Former Aide Says Bush is Complicit in Plame Affair -- Scott McClellan used to be the White House Press Secretary. As such, he was an insider to a great many decisions of the Bush administration. Like a lot of ex-big shots in Washington, he has a book coming out, his pension scheme. In his, though, he states that the President himself is guilty of a felony, and one wonders just how much longer Congress and the American people are prepared to look the other way.
UK Taxman Loses ID Data -- The New Labour Government of Gordon Brown has lost the personal and financial data of no fewer than 25 million Britons. For those with a statistical bent, that is close to half the nation, and is easily a majority of adults. Paul Gray, Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs Chairman, has resigned over the matter. While this journal applauds his decency and sense of honor, there is no end to the trouble this will cause average Britons.
Chinese Win Afghan Mining Deal -- If the Bush administration thought that sending troops to Afghanistan would help it secure rights to that nation's resources, it was sadly disabused of the idea earlier this week. China Metallurgical Group, a state-owned company, will spend $2.89 billion in the biggest foreign investment in the history of Afghanistan to develop the Aynak copper concession. US and NATO troops will now defend the communist Chinese mine.
Elizabeth and Philip Celebrate 60 Years of Marriage -- This journal isn't going soft on the British monarchy. The best thing that could happen to the people of the British Isles is to awake tomorrow as citizens of the Federal Republic of Britain. However, two individuals named Elizabeth and Philip have passed a personal milestone worthy of note. It isn't every day that one celebrates 60 years of marriage.

Spinning bikes can be quite efficient in terms of burning calories. Extremely easy to operate, these machines also have the advantage of being suited for beginners as well. An hour session on the spin bike can help you burn anywhere between 500 and 800 calories. If you don't want to spend a lot, you will be glad to learn that the market does provide some inexpensive models without compromising on quality.
Our Choice: Sunny Health and Fitness SF-B1203
The SF-B1203 is extremely budget-friendly, with a price tag that only ranges between $70 and $100 only. Ideal for anyone who's on a limited budget, this particular machine may not compare to more expensive models, but it does get the job done. In spite of its inexpensive model, this particular bike does come with a sturdy steel frame as well as a heavy duty crank system for a more efficient performance. It also comes with an adjustable resistance that will enable you to switch between the various levels of tension and prevent monotony from settling in. Therefore, you will be able to keep your motivation levels high and burn more calories. While it is an affordable machine, this machine does come with a 22 pounds flywheel that will allow most of your muscles to participate in the training.
You can learn more about these models by reading our detailed spinning bike reviews.
Our Choice: Sunny Health and Fitness SF-B1001
With a price tag that ranges between $200 and $300, the SF-B1001 is ideal for beginners to intermediate users who want to experience an intense workout without even leaving their house. It comes with an appealing red and black design and offers a surprisingly varied performance in spite of its affordable price tag. In fact, users will be able to benefit from an adjustable seat that can be moved up and down according to your height. By the same token, it is possible for you to adjust the handlebars and angle them closer to your body to avoid back strains.

The heavy-duty steel frame can easily sustain a fair amount of wear and tear. However, it should be noted that the bike does require quite a bit of dusting and oiling in terms of maintenance over the long run.
As in the previous model, it sports a 30 pound heavy flywheel, which is good enough for beginners and intermediate users, though it might prove not challenging enough for advanced users.

Life hacks are little tidbits of knowledge on how to do some type of everyday task just a little bit more easily. In many cases, they can save you time, money and/or space. Below is a compilation of some of the best, simplest life hacks that will do one or all of the above.
1. Charge your phone faster by switching to airplane mode.
2. Use old toilet paper rolls as starter plots for young seedlings.
3. Paper clips at the end of a roll of tape save a lot of frustration.
4. Hide your money and cards (ID, credit/debit cards) in a women's sanitary napkin. It's one of the last places anyone would expect.
5. Cut open a tennis ball and stick it to the wall to be an anything-holder.
6. Use the tabs from soda cans to double up on closet space.
7. Use the spring from a pen to strengthen flimsy cords.
8. You're still using electricity - and being charged for it - when cords are plugged in even if they aren't being used. Save your money by using powerstrips.
9. Keep dry pet food in a juf so it's easier to dish out.
10. Coffee beans in a little box act as a great makeup brush holder.
11. An egg carton is a cheap way and efficient way to keep your laptop ventilated.
12. In case of blackouts, put a cell phone under a bottle of liquid to distribute the light in all directions.
I've used this one many times and I will personally endorse that it's awesome.
13. Stick that sliver of soap from the old bar onto a new bar, it'll eventually fuse together.
14. If you're traveling and don't have an outlet handy, most modern TVs in hotel rooms have a USB plugin.
15. Another travel tip: when using public transit, wrap your bag around your leg to keep it safe while napping.
16. Use a fitted sheet at the beach to keep your tanning area sand-free.
17. Lived through the 90's and now you've got a bunch of old cassette tapes you don't know what to do with? BAM! Instant phone holder.
18. A power plug can double as a flathead screwdriver in a pinch.
19. Graphite from an ordinary pencil helps unstick zipper teeth.

Banana bread is my absolute favourite! And this is the best one you will ever have, if I may say so myself! The texture is just perfect – light and spongy and I love having it with either a bit of butter or just simply on its own!
This recipe has a lower added sugar (honey or coconut sugar) content than you would find in other recipes. I prefer to add something sweet as a topping, e.g. an almond butter with jam, rather than make the bread too sweet.
- 280g buckwheat flour
- 5 small to medium ripe bananas (in small chunks)
- 80ml honey (or 80g coconut sugar)
- 100g melted, cooled down coconut oil
- 50ml almond milk
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp biocarbonate of soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Preheat the oven to about 180 degrees Celsius
- Use a loaf tin (I use a silicone one) and spread some butter or coconut oil inside
- Combine all ingredients in a food processor and mix until you achieve a smooth dough consistency (I use Thermomix and set it for the bread mix function for about 5-7min)
- Pour the mixture into the tin but remember to leave some space on top as the bread will grow considerably! I pour the leftover mix into a few cupcake tins for a grab-and-go snack.
- Bake for 50min, checking after about 40 min that the top is not too dark. Depending on your oven, at that point you might want to decrease the temperature slightly. (Cupcakes should be ready in about 35min)
- Once out of the oven, keep your hands off the bread until it's cooled down! You can then cut some generous slices and enjoy any way you want 🙂

Hidalgo-Clyne stars as Edinburgh down Kings
The scrumhalf capped off a fine night for the Scottish side, as they scored six tries in total to consolidate their grip on fourth in Conference B.
Edinburgh burst out of the blocks, scoring two tries in the first six minutes through Fraser McKenzie and Viliame Mata.
The Kings hit back before the break but Edinburgh flexed their muscle to run in three more tries to cap off a convincing bonus-point win.
With six Scotland internationals back in the ranks, Edinburgh were given a major boost ahead of the match and it took them less than three minutes to make it count.
A neat, flowing move saw the visitors cut through the Kings and it was left to captain Fraser McKenzie to stretch across for the first of the match.
The Kings were shell-shocked and it got worse minutes later as Viliame Mata powered over to make the score 12-0 within six minutes.
Schalk Ferreira's yellow card made things worse for the Kings but they battled hard and scored points of their own with Kurt Coleman landing a penalty.
Gilchrist barrelled over for Edinburgh's third mid-way through the first half but by then the Kings had found a route into the game.
Harlon Klaasen, a threat all night with ball in hand, sprinted clear of Edinburgh's defence to score a superb solo try while Coleman landed two more penalties to reduce the gap to six points.
Edinburgh regrouped after the break with full-back Blair Kinghorn particularly influential, both under the high ball and surging forwards.
And the Scottish side secured the bonus point mid-way through the second half as Fife scrambled across after Nathan Fowles found him down the blind-side of a five-metre scrum.
Replacement Hidalgo-Clyne then finished it shortly after, getting the ball down after a pick and go before adding his second from close range by running a clever line.
And, as the Kings tired, he finished an unlikely hat-trick by bursting through a gap under the posts.
The Kings still had time for a consolation try through Dries van Schalkwyk.
The scorers:
For Southern Kings:
Tries: H Klaasen, Van Schalkwyk
Con: Coleman
Pens: Coleman 3

Like many people in this area, I never really seemed to stray too far from home no matter how hard I tried. I was born and raised in Saginaw, and in 1999, I graduated from Boswell High School.
From there, I drove the extra couple of miles every day to attend TCC, along with several of my fellow alumni, and in two years I received my Associate's Degree. After TCC, I transferred my time and my money to Texas Tech University. I graduated in the summer of 2003 with a Bachelor's Degree in Communication Studies/Management. The very next day, I moved back home.
In 2013, I completed work on my Master's Degree in Educational Administration, and in the summer of 2017, I took the position of Assistant Principal at Boswell High School.
This is my 13th year at Boswell High School, and during my tenure I have served the school in several areas. I started out teaching and coaching both athletics and academics as the assistant tennis coach, assistant wrestling coach, and the speech and debate coach. For seven years, I was the head tennis coach where I enjoyed working with great kids year in and out. For the next 2 1/2 years, I served the campus as the Testing/504 Coordinator. I am currently in my first year of administration.
As far as my personal life is concerned, I have been happily married since 2004 to a wonderful girl from Houston whom I met at Tech. We have two beautiful girls, Mackenzie and Samantha, and we have a dog named Stella. I am an avid golfer, even though I am horrible, and I love to exercise and play just about any sport imaginable.
I am honored and thrilled to continue to serve the school that served me for so many years, and I look forward to helping all of our students in any way that I can. It's a great day to be a Pioneer!

Yesterday I went out and bought Mass Effect 2 for the PS3, and a few people decried that a writer (ie, me) would indulge in such a time sink when they should be writing.
That reminded me, although in a far less extreme way, of a blog post I read recently where someone analysed the Twitter feed of Brandon Sanderson and concluded that he was spending far too much time not writing, and he really needed to knuckle down to work. Specific tweets highlighted included one mentioning that he went out for dinner, played some Magic card games, and went to visit some friends. How very dare he.
Now, clearly that blogger was suffering from entitlement syndrome, or whatever you like to call it – that their favourite writer somehow owes them, and that their primary function in life is to produce fiction. I've seen it a few times, although most usually when an author is late on something or their next book is eagerly awaited.
But writers are people too. Sure, I bought Mass Effect 2 for the PS3. I also play World of Warcraft. I read books. I go to the movies. I watch TV. I eat. I drink. I sleep. A far bigger problem is the amount of time I spend on Twitter when I should be writing/editing/scheming, but hey, I'm getting better.
Writers write because they have to write, and there's not much that will get in the way of that.
No words yesterday either, but yesterday had a few unexpected twists and turns. Which is an excuse, I know.

Progress continues on The Wasp in the Lotus, and I'm hoping to have the second draft finished today. Following my post from yesterday about editing on screen versus on paper, wereviking from the Zephyr weblog comic mentioned that as a newspaper subeditor, he's been trained to edit on paper and that's a hard habit to break. Despite what I said yesterday, I actually agree that editing on paper is important, because you miss a very great deal of stuff on screen just by virtue of the way our brains and eyes work. This means then that printing a entire manuscript does need to be done, but as I mentioned in my response to wereviking's comment, perhaps as the second step, after an on-screen edit. As a result the printed manuscript should hopefully be in pretty good shape and you can focus on things that were missed. Which means a lot less red pen, and a lot less hassle rekeying it all back into the electronic manuscript.
I also think I've decided to put editing Seven Wonders on hold, and start on Ludmila, My Love once I've finished with Wasp. I think I've decided, but there are still a few days before I can start so I may change my mind.
Something has happened in Death's Disciples, and suddenly I'm reading a different book. This is very, very cool.
Books: some pages of Death's Disciples by J. Robert King.
Comics: On hold until February.
